Description
Jules Verne's Robur the Conqueror appears here in Dutch, as Robur de Veroveraar, in the Wonderreizen series from Elsevier of Amsterdam, dated 1915. Its heading dates the tale itself to 1886. Chapter one opens with two pistol shots and a cow hit in the back, though she had no part in the quarrel.
The two duelists, an older Englishman and a younger American, had fought over a tune heard in the air near Niagara. One swore it was Rule Britannia, the other Yankee Doodle. A witness proposes that it was both, and the party goes to breakfast at the Goat Island hotel, between the falls, over eggs, ham, and floods of tea.
